Freeman's proposed "Project Swing By" initiative, where California-class ships revisit planets abandoned by Starfleet, is approved by Admiral Les Buenamigo. He sends the Cerritos to Ornara, a planet whose population were forced to quit an addictive substance by Jean-Luc Picard and the USS Enterprise many years earlier. They are accompanied by journalist Victoria Nuzé, and Freeman attempts to control her experience to project competence. Finding Ornara thriving, Buenamigo sends the Cerritos to nearby planet Brekka instead. After Mariner circumvents Freeman to speak with Nuzé, the journalist confronts Freeman about embarrassing details from past missions. Freeman immediately transfers Mariner to Starbase 80, a dead-end assignment. On Brekka, the Cerritos is ambushed by the Breen and narrowly saved by the USS Aledo, Buenamigo's new fully automated Texas-class starship.
